Interesting, isn't it, that she failed to kill herself in her first two "attempts". But she did not fail to kill five little children.

You judge her by her failures. I judge her by her successes.

As for Russell Yates--who is only a series of electrons and audio impulses--we know nothing of what is going through his mind. We know nothing of his REAL relationship with his wife as opposed to the theatrical version which is produced in the midst of all domestic disasters.

We know nothing of the advice he is receiving from "well-wishers"; nothing of the "expert" opinions he is accepting as to the best way to show loyalty to his monstrous wife; nothing of the impotent guilt that is driving him to horrifying verbal diahrrea in front of the omnipresent video camera. We know nothing of what makes him seem so hollow and lacking in dignity. We know nothing of his upbringing. We don't know anything about anybody in this case, except.....

Five children were murdered, by hand, slowly, by Andrea Yates.

I wonder if there any statistics that show a relationship between attempted suicide and and the prospects of future murder(s)? I think attempted suicide used to be illegal, which maybe if it was still, she would of been under the jurisdiction of a court.

Oh so Russell Yates is a series of electron and audio impulses, whats he wife?? He's just an automaton and shes Hitler jr. right? But hes normal and shes insane? So much for your argument!

As for expert opinions, the psycologist that was treating her said under oath that she warned both of them not to have anymore children. Then came baby #5.
